In addition to visual languages and programming, the 45 papers, 24 of them abstracts, consider visually mediated communication, visual query languages, and diagrammatic reasoning. Among the specific topics are the high-level static and dynamic visualization of software architecture, a Mosaic-based query language for video databases, the efficient parsing of visual languages based on critical pair analysis and contextual layered graph transformation, promoting scalability in a concurrent visual language, extended positional grammars, the principled design of visual languages for interaction, tabular and textual methods for selecting objects from a group, visualizing the structure of object-oriented systems, and a visual critiquing language for expressing design knowledge.
